This will sound strange but I felt prompted to share it.

I was listening to my institute instructor teach about certain hymns, and he began to relate a story where he was singing in a choir, and in that choir was a woman who was of the members of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir with an exceptional voice. While singing this woman began to break down in tears and was so emotional that she hardly could keep her own composure. Someone then implied that she had a spiritual thought, prompting, or experience, and then continued to ask if she was willing to share it. She agreed to do so after she had gotten her composure back together.

When she was finally ready to speak, she told the choir that she had received revelation while singing that she was one of the members of the Heavenly Choir before this life began.

I thought this was fascinating, and it reminded me of an idea I was once prompted with.

It was the idea that we existed for who-knows how long before we were born on this earth, and after existing for SO LONG, we were finally born.

That begs the question; How different are we REALLY?

I was pondering the question when something else came crashing into my mind: (Paraphrased)

"You have been given the spontaneous and uncanny ability to write and play music with wonderful proficiency. Who does that make YOU in the premortal existence?"

I froze up.

It's really interesting how the Lord uses the experiences of others to show you who you really are.

After pondering the question and running into a dead end I simply thought; "Who was I?"

"You wrote music for them." Was the immediate response. 

"Them" means "Heavenly Choir" in this context.

I sat in chills, took a deep breath and asked the Lord whether or not he just told me that I wrote music for the Heavenly Choir.

"Yes! You did!" I heard back as if spoken with enthusiasm.

...

We in this generation are considered the "Great and Notable Ones."

We are not "Great and Notable" merely by title.

We are great and notable because we were faithful in the premortal life, developed talents, obeyed Gods commands, and received fore-ordinations to serve in the callings wherewith we are to be called.

It is my belief that we dream of taking action and doing great good not merely for our entertainment, but because we are being CALLED to action.

With great power comes great responsibility, and YOU have been given great power to do good, I promise you. Otherwise you would not be a member of this generation. Pray about it.

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
